Lu Mengli talked about the cooperation with the Jin family.

Jin Sanliang, who was still respectful to Lu Mengli, suddenly looked dazed, and then returned to the main seat and sat down, and then played with the teacup that had become cold, and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed the honor of my Jin family to be favored by His Majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is not something that can be decided in one or two sentences if you want the Jin family to be involved in court disputes." ”

"I think Her Majesty the Empress should understand, right?"

"So if you want the Jin family to take the initiative to get involved in this kind of dispute, you need to pay a certain price, presumably Her Majesty the Empress won't feel that she is making things difficult in the next place, right?"

Of course, Lu Mengli knew that what Jin Sanliang said was completely reasonable.

Because even the weakest dynasty is bound to be intertwined and dangerous everywhere.

Not only because there will be a lot of people from different forces and different realms in the court, but also because in front of great power, even flesh and blood affection can only be regarded as a dream bubble, which can be shattered at a moment's notice, and it is completely untrustworthy.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty was just a weak dynasty in a small place, Jin Sanliang might have agreed to help the other party with this.

But now sitting beside him is the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is already a first-class force in the Northern Regions, and even the hand of the Jin family cannot reach the deepest, Jin Sanliang, as the successor of the family, naturally needs to deal with it carefully, and it is impossible to easily hand over the fate of the family to others because of a few words.

Today's Northern Regions is certainly respected by the Jin family, but there are also many first-class forces that have been lurking in the shadows, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Jin family, which has some decay.

As his successor, Kim will not allow such a situation to happen.

Therefore, when Lu Mengli proposed to cooperate with the Jin family to eradicate dissidents in the DPRK and China, Jin Sanliang chose to refuse for the time being.

He wanted to know if Lu Mengli, who was the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, still had hole cards that could impress him.

It's a world of the jungle, and there's a price to pay for everything.

Whether the Jin family will cooperate with the Great Zhou Dynasty depends on how much bargaining chips Lu Mengli is willing to pay in this matter.

If there are enough chips, then the Jin family is not out of the question.

However, from the many news found by the Jin family spies, it can be learned that although Lu Mengli is the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, due to the various decisions promulgated by Meng Feiran in the past hundred years, Lu Mengli, who is the empress, actually does not have much net worth, not to mention that the Jin family is the richest in the entire Northern Regions.

If you just use money as a bargaining chip, Jin Sanliang will not be tempted by this.

He values other things more.

It's just that he Jin Sanliang grew up with a golden key since he was a child, and the Jin family is the most wealthy in the Northern Regions, and he can also bring it back to his room every day without repeating it.

So even the Empress Lu Mengli of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't help frowning after hearing what Jin Sanliang said.

Obviously, before she came, she had secretly investigated Jin Sanliang, the famous successor of the Jin family.

It's just that she didn't expect to know that this guy was so difficult to deal with when she saw Jin Sanliang in person.

A person who is not short of money, natural treasures, and beauty and power, she really can't think of any way to impress him.

But just when Lu Mengli felt that today's trip could only return in vain, she suddenly thought of the moment before Meng Feiran died.

At that time, Meng Feiran, who was only the last to breathe, held her hand tightly, her face full of relief.

Then he whispered in a struggling tone in his ear: "When the Emperor entrusted you to me, he also gave me an extremely precious thing for safekeeping, and asked me to keep this secret forever before I die. ”

"Now that I'm dying, it's time to tell you the secret."

"What's the secret? I've never heard you talk about it, brother Feiran. ”

Lu Mengli and Meng Feiran grew up together since childhood, and their relationship has always been very good, coupled with the companionship of the past hundred years, Lu Mengli has regarded Meng Feiran as her own brother.

Speaking in front of his own brother, he is naturally more casual.

But Meng Feiran was full of caution, and his tone was even more serious, and he said: "There is a vacant emperor's coffin in the underground palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty thought that the emperor's coffin was the coffin of the founding emperor, but this was not the case."

"When the emperor was about to die, he passed me a secret decree, and the secret decree happened to mention this imperial coffin, and it told me that every emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be buried in the underground underground palace after death, and the imperial coffin, which was known as the coffin of the founding emperor, was also nonsense."

"In fact, the real function of that emperor's coffin is actually to store a fire."

"Tinder?"

Lu Mengli, who heard this sentence at that time, was a little puzzled, because she had learned the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually one of the oldest forces in the Northern Regions, and it had been in this land for hundreds of years.

At the same time, she also has a slight understanding of fire, and knows that those fires that are worshiped as sacred objects by alchemists can generally only be left vacant for a hundred years, and will gradually dissipate because the spiritual power is unsustainable.

Now, Meng Feiran suddenly mentioned that in the underground palace of the dynasty, there was actually a fire that had been stored for hundreds of years.

This had to make Lu Mengli feel shocked, and at the same time, she couldn't help but ask whether what Meng Feiran said was true or false.

"Of course it's true, could it be that I'll lie to you?"

Meng Feiran knew that this little tail who had been following him since he was a child had grown up and was already a great empress of the Great Zhou who could take charge on her own, so she just teased her a little and said to her in the most serious tone: "Although the fire is not the foundation for the Great Zhou Dynasty to stand in the Northern Regions, you must promise me that you can't take the fire away from the underground palace at will until you encounter real unsolvable trouble." ”

"That's the last hole card left to you by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Now the Great Zhou Dynasty looks peaceful and prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it is an undercurrent surging, and there are already many forces eyeing your position, so you not only have to work hard to cultivate and break through to the Tribulation Realm as soon as possible, but you must also be diligent and self-motivated, at least you can't let those guys in the court have the opportunity to trouble you."

"The Hidden Dragon Guard will work with you in secret."

"The most important thing is the matter of tinder, you must not slack off in the slightest, have you ever understood?"

Although Meng Feiran did not mention what grade of fire in the underground dungeon was, seeing that his sickly and pale face showed the most serious expression since the two met, Lu Mengli knew that the fire in the dungeon was definitely not an ordinary fire, so he did not continue to ask, but nodded obediently and fulfilled the promise.

Later, the news of Meng Feiran's death soon spread in the court.

Without such a strategist to give advice behind Lu Mengli's back, some of the forces that were suppressed by the two of them really began to move.

But at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was no longer the previous crumbling existence.

Although Lu Mengli is a woman, her methods are not weaker than Meng Feiran back then, but more cunning and ruthless, and in just a few months, she has eliminated some small forces with lightning speed.

However, with so many clan forces in the Northern Regions, it is indeed a little difficult for Lu Mengli to rely on herself to clean it up.

Later, Lu Mengli did encounter difficulties, and found that many first-class forces had also sent people to lurk in the shadows of the dynasty to wait for an opportunity.

This made her feel very troubled, so she thought of coming to Ice Spirit City to ask Jin Sanliang, the third son of the Jin family, hoping to cooperate with the behemoth of the Jin family to eradicate those rats hiding in the shadows of the dynasty.

Now he has also encountered setbacks in the Jin family.

But she, Lu Mengli, was not willing to admit defeat.

So she opened her mouth and said, "If the Jin family is willing to help, I can open the underground palace and let the Jin family get the fire that the dynasty has treasured for hundreds of years." ”

"Centuries of tinder?"

When the words fell, the biggest reaction in the entire lobby was not Jin Sanliang, nor anyone else, but Cao Chuan, who had been sitting on the side watching the play from the beginning.

But he was not so excited that he stood up directly or shouted, but looked at Lu Mengli's eyes and finally became serious.
